dog tunneling under chain link fence

Any ideas to secure the bottom edges of the chain link fence? New-to-us
dog tunneled under the brand new fence and bolted. The mister thinks we
should have the fence guy come back and secure pipe at the bottom of the
fence from post to post, clipping the fence to the pipe as along the
top. I'm not convinced this will solve the tunneling problem, just slow
the progress. I'm thinking some kind of metal edging that can be sunk
12" or so below ground, with a few inches remaining above to cover any
gap between ground and fence. If we were to go with this metal edging
idea, what kind of metal, and from whom do I procure it?

Any other ideas? For the time being, dog goes on a 40' tether on one of
those screw in stakes, just to run around the $1200 "fenced in" yard. Grr...

add invisible fence around permiter, dog not wanting to get shocked
will stay away from fence:(

I have a dog like that her name is puddle.

She a small poodle would jump a 4 foot wire mesh fence, leak out doors,
run all thru neighborhood, chase cars, barking for no reason, got hit
by car... we made new friends police:(

Finally solved it all by getting puddle a friend, susie.

companion solved all the troubles our dog was bored..........

might be easier to add a friend on a trial basis and see if that fixes
things.

your local animal shelter would likely love a foster parent, and you
can save a life and perhaps get your dog a friend while ending the
behavior problem.

no long term cmmitment, its worth a try and is the cheapest solution.

I'll second this- the dog is probably just bored and lonely. Have you tried
more 'inside time' with the rest of the pack? They are pack animals. They
see their humans as their pack. If the humans don't give them any face time,
they feel rejected, and try to move on.

aem sends....

So Barfie is digging his way out? Gee, he/she is surely a candidate for
neutering or spaying. There are all kinds of solutions, but I'd look
closely at the dog before turning your property into a stalag.
